The aB-Agenta API enables third-party programs to access aB-Agenta data. To enable the API, you have to install the aB-Agenta webservice and configure the API options.How to do this and the meaning of the options you can see here.

  
The API offers these functions:

- load / search records
- modify records
- create new records
- delete records
- download documents
- upload new documents

The **OpenAPI** specifications can be found here: [https://demoserver.artbase-software.de/api2\_1/swaggerui](https://demoserver.artbase-software.de/api2_1/swaggerui)

We recommend to use it on your own service with your own data and credentials to run tests that better suit your environment. (http(s)://your-server:port/api2\_1/swaggerui)

Please keep in mind that **aB-Agenta is not a cloud solution**, but an offline application. The actual base url of your productive API is individual. There is no global API server. **The url above is intended for testing purposes only.**
